a selection of Christkindlmärkte (Christmas Markets)


The more I read and hear about German Christmas markets outside of the Fatherland, the more apparent it is that I should be more grateful for where I live. We have such an abundance of these that you can even say things like, 'That one's got the best organic food.' Or, 'This one's the most traditional.'

So in the next few days, before all the people manning their Christmas Market stands pack up and go celebrate the holidays with their families, I'll be taking photos of the festivities. The photo above is from the entrance to the one in the English Garden under the Chinese tower.

Below I've included some photos from years past in Nürnberg:

Behind the City Hall

Springtime might be the most vibrant time of year in Munich. It's true elsewhere, but here the people who've been wearing layers upon layers of clothing practically disrobe and welcome the sun.

In the Englishergarten, they literally disrobe for this.
